| Raspberry Steamed Quail
I tried a new recipe for the Mearns we brought home and it was really good. I soaked the breasts and legs in Raspberry Vinagarette dressing for two days and then put Montreal Seasoning on them. I made a foil pan on my grill and put the quail and all the dressing liquid in the pan. I then put strips of pepper bacon on top and grilled for 5 minutes, turned and grilled for 6 minutes. The liquid steamed and tenderized the meat really well and they got a nice semi-sweet coating on the meat as it cooked. We had no leftovers!
